The once-revered matriarch of the Mingde Marquis Household, legitimate daughter of the Wei family in the capital. She bore two sons and two daughters and had a stepson Xie Lan. In her past life, she was biased toward her favored children (Xie Chuan, Xie Sheng, Xie Wanyi) while mistreating her eldest daughter Xie Wanrou and stepson Xie Lan. She contracted smallpox and was abandoned by her favored children, dying alone in a derelict courtyard. After her death, her soul lingered out of resentment before being reborn. Upon rebirth, she returned to the second year after the Marquis's death and resolved to correct her past mistakes, showing kindness to Dou Shuyiao and Xie Wanrou while disciplining Xie Chuan.
